2008 Porsche Boxster Professional Reviews:

edmunds has reviewed the 2008 Porsche Boxster and given out” Pros: Perfectly balanced handling, pinpoint steering, world-class braking, usable cargo compartments, fast power-top operation, ample options list makes it highly customizable. Cons: Porsche’s entry-level model is still expensive even before those pricey options are added; overly complex audio dash controls; moderate top-up noise at higher speeds. ”

AOL Autos has reviewed the 2008 Porsche Boxster and given out” The Porsche Boxster is big enough to keep its place in the daily dogfights and is just the right size for an escape from the maelstrom. Top up, it’s quiet and comfy; top down, the world wraps itself around you and you can’t help but blip back a jolly response with your right foot. The Boxster is pure Porsche. Our only cautionary note against impulsively rushing down and snapping one up is to check off options carefully, as they can escalate the price considerably.”

auto123 has reviewed the 2008 Porsche Boxster and given out” There’s a lot to like about the Boxster, even in base form. There’s room for going on road trips, it’s powerful enough, and it’s a blast to drive.”

newcars has reviewed the 2008 Porsche Boxster and given out” The typical sport convertible has a bigger engine than the Porsche Boxster. Note that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. The Porsche Boxster could learn a lesson or two from the typical sport convertible with respect to pickup. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the typical sport convertible is markedly more powerful than the Porsche Boxster.”
